N'koudou will be used as an impact sub


Georges-Kevin N'koudou arrived at Tottenham after spending a month in a hotel and not training, thus when he did eventually join us he had not had a pre-season and that has affected better players than him at clubs.

Not speaking any English doesn't help his situation, you can't integrate easily if you don't know what everyone is saying. The bond players have helps them perform for one another so the quicker he can learn the language the better.

"He's not 100 per cent at the level we want him. He's very young and he needs to work a lot to arrive at his best. It's true that for the way we want to use him now, it's perfect for him to be on the bench and make an impact as he did against CSKA. 
"I'm very positive on the injured players. I need to assess them tomorrow, but I'm very positive. Today, they are all at the same level, with Harry [Kane] a bit behind. We are very positive on them. 
"He's [Kane] very positive. The scan was very positive and the expectation is that he can be available before we expect."
